Nobody is talking about Meinhard (the drummer). He's the main reason this recording is so good. He's following Kapustin's notation but he's also taking liberties as a jazz drummer to really give the piece a jazz feeling. When Kapustin dictates drive for example, he doesn't just play the ride cymbal every quarter note but he's playing a BANGING swing style while also following Kapustin's notations and breaks. I'm a huge fan with all the liberties he takes and I'd love to hear him with Frank Dupree and a big band try Piano Concerto No. 6
Piano Concerto No. 6 is just recorded. Coming soon! :) Until then, you can listen to Piano Concerto No. 4, which I play again together with Meinhard Obi Jenne, or our trio album BLUEPRINT, Kapustin piano solo works adding double-bass and drums (Meinhard!!!).
Thank you so much Anthony for completely understanding how I see it and try to find the best interpretation of this wonderful music from Nikolai Kapustin. With my close friend Frank it’s really possible to get the shape right because he’s not only an outstanding piano player, but also bulletproof in playing and understanding modern music❤
Good luck it already started that Frank and i are invited from many orchestras for several different pieces from Kapustin and it’s amazing to perform his music
@@flamingspinach I suppose they are referring that this recording is much better than the only recording of this piece before (which I very much agree with)
But at least they sound like the composers themselves and not just jazz in general. And Ravel’s harmonic language is eons ahead of anything Kapustin ever did. And his writing for piano is much more attractive to a classical pianist than having to execute all this random quasi improvisational writing.
@@ChristovanRensburg Not necessarily on the execution part, Kapustin's music is incredibly fun to play. Although yeah, comparing these composers does kind of undermine their respective styles, and the things they wanted to accomplish. Ravel certainly was better than Kapustin in many regards, but Kapustin's music definitely incorporates jazz forms much better (in my opinion) than any other classical composer before or after him.
Откуда этот нескончаемый поток звуков?! Как это можно было принять, оформить в виде нотного текста, запомнить и исполнять?! Н. Капустин и сам по себе есть загадка и тайна! Я , как профессиональный музыкант, определила бы этот тип музыки, как репортаж из мира хаоса и тёмной материи. Ведь в ней НЕТ МЕЛОДИИ, А СЛЕДОВАТЕЛЬНО, НЕТ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКОЙ ДУШИ!! ПЕРВЫЙ РУССКИЙ ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНЫЙ КОМПОЗИТОР ГОВОРИЛ ТАК, МЕЛОДИЯ ЭТО ДУША МУЗЫКИ. НАРОД СОЧИНЯЕТ МУЗЫКУ, А МЫ, КОМПОЗИТОРЫ, ЕЁ ТОЛЬКО АРАНЖИРУЕМ . О музыке Капустина можно смело сказать, души в ней нет. Поэтому слушать её, а тем более исполнять, могут единицы, подобные этому композитору по своему типу восприятия реального мира.

AMAZING....that this has never played by most celebrated Western orchestras 😢.......
Good luck it already started that Frank and i are invited from many orchestras for several different pieces from Kapustin and it’s amazing to perform his music
2 hours daily from Kapustin .....IS NOT SUFICIENT. Need more.
BEYOND BASED
Fr
not beyond based
@@ShutUpZewenThisIsNotBased so, based.
@@unnamed_boi not based either
@@ShutUpZewenThisIsNotBased no, based.
unfathomably based and even epic and potentially cash money. arguably a certified mdrment
cash rules everything around me
unfathomably unbased
Based on the synchrony, accuracy of rhythms and tempi, definitely a step-up recording.
I very much agree, the percussion is so clear here, especially the bits where they double the piano lines.
Please enlighten me, what do you mean by a "step-up recording"?
@@flamingspinach Listen to the original Ludmil Angelov recording and compare it to this one.
@@filmscorevideos I know what it sounds like, I just don't know what a "step up recording" means
@@flamingspinach I suppose they are referring that this recording is much better than the only recording of this piece before (which I very much agree with)
Switch from swing rhythm back to straight at 18:34 goes so hard
You’re right and some changes are really hard but after a little while it’s organic anyway
I didn't know I needed this, but thank you from the bottom of my heart
7:47, 10:50 average W Kapustin moments
Que gran capacidad creativa infinita de Kapustin. October 18....reload My music hearth. Happy Birthday Nikolái...5 years ago.
5:40 Lovely pedalling
Using dupree recording with high quality sheet music? Based as fuck.
All earlier quasi jazz classical, Ravel, even Gershwin, Bernstein, Shostakovitch 😂sounds naive after hearing this awesome Concerto 😅

Straight up amazing, the addition of percussion rocks.
Unboxing this new Concerto pack. Wooowwww.
2:08 best part
DUPREE BASED
NO
Will be Frank???
Kapustin. Dupree. Yes please!
Nice post
Awesome.
Dream program: this and the Bartok Sonata for same four musicians, with fillers.
This Concerto smell to SINFONIETTA from . I Love it all.
That was quick! The album was only released today. Nevertheless, thanks!!
Let me be Frank. This is so based
I am Frank :D
2:02 triangle is ✨
10:49
This is amazing. Can I ask, what is the "drive" instruction in the percussion supposed to mean?
It implies a solid, based forward momentum. Don't let the tempo sag. Take responsibility. Don't be weak.
Basically most of the time he uses it, he means swing it around
@@subplantant that's a hell of pop-psych buzzwords you added to it but yeah, it means "carry on in a steady pace without slowing down".

The runs in the presto section are way different from his other works. Some cool instrumentation here he plays with
Those runs are just nuts! First time I heard them I almost ran off the road.
